hard look at the global financial headlines to conjure a report on our. ever pull which accuses over fifty countries of assisting the u.s. in secretly detaining interrogating and torturing terrorist suspects aboard. iran's president is in a historic visit to cairo with western friendly egypt looking ready to open a new phase of relations with tehran. three former m.p.'s in kuwait received three year prison sentences for precisely in the country's leadership despite a nation being hailed as a dark classic trailblazer. international news life for most go this is r.t. with me

a thanks for joining us. as many as sixty four countries took part in the cia's secret detention and prisoner edition for the claim was made in a report from a new york based and g.a.o. which claims foreign governments aided the u.s. in making sure interrogations were out of reach of the new. account has more for us this is a very comprehensive report prepared by the open society foundations not only do they detail torture techniques that were used at cia secret prisons overseas to so-called black sites but also give a list of countries that one way or another protists appétit in cia secret detention and extraordinary rendition operations including by hosting cia prisons on their territories detaining interrogating torturing going to be using it in vigils assisting in a tour in the capture and transport of detainees and so on so the list includes countries like afghanistan and all straight denmark djibouti huge of georgia turkey syria the united arab emirates the united kingdom yemen italy and even iran and

just in case you're wondering what iran is doing on the list here's what the report says a yemeni national hussein solemn mohammad on the fed he was captured by iranian authorities in tehran sometime after nine eleven two thousand and one and once was handed over to afghan authorities as part of a prisoner exchange and was held in cia detention in afghanistan so a list of fifty four countries there while president bush acknowledged that the cia had secretly detained about one hundred prisoners and this report alleges there were more the u.s. government has only identified sixteen quote unquote high value detainees italy is the only country where a court has criminally has convicted officials for their involvement in extraordinary rendition operations canada is the only country to issue an apology to the to an extraordinary rendition victim maher are more here excuse me r r who was rendered to and tortured in syria and only three countries in addition to canada and it is sweden australia and the united kingdom have issued company.

sation to extraordinary rendition victims this report is ripe with human rights abuses and it's clear that high ranking bush administration officials bear responsibility for authorizing human rights violations and yet no one was prosecuted because the u.s. government has classified everything related to its torture practices any accusation would be dismissed on state secrets grounds so plenty of countries implicated an allegedly assisting the u.s. in the kidnapping and torture of terror suspects and full of private investigator douglas one time believes america is purposely exaggerating the truth of terrorism to impose its military power while white the war on terror and sell through this is a overstatement vast overstatement of the dangers that exist in the it's been proven to afghanistan that we simply created more enemies in iraq we've created more enemies the war on terror is

a war at war killing torturing and detaining people is not a way to bring over its resolve problems the way to resolve problems is through people trying to understand each other through reach accommodations to do things diplomatically it's a situation that exists right now is that the united states knows the military overhand that it's not willing to give the go by having built three over here that kind of force its will all rule the world and the war on terror is simply a simple pretext for doing what it illustrates is that the government has. since nine eleven more capable propagandizing the american people by exaggerating the threats that exist in order to perpetuate which probably is a state of emergency that really doesn't exist in which the government is able to portray the united states the greatest military power that ever existed on the planet earth and some of it though the person that was being bullied. the truth is

exactly the opposite. the visit over it rain leader to egypt of fast and more than three decades is seen as a sign the two middle east ahead awaits a move in closer president ahmadinejad who is under pressure from western states over his nation's nuclear program was attending a muslim summit to discuss security issues with mohamed morsi the two nations a separation as after iran's islamic revolution in two thousand in the one nine hundred seventy nine and they found the deteriorated after egypt's peace treaty with israel more says you are sparked rise to power out of egypt's uprising is seen as major hurdle to better ties with tehran which is strongly opposed to the current revolt in syria some analysts believe keeping the door open to the islamic republic shows carries a more independent foreign policy than most outs of criticise and the journalist neil clark told my colleague bill doth that iran needs all the friends it can get. ground strongest ally in the arab world has now been serious serious been a brutal ally of iran this is the reason why pro israel lobby why the americans why

the saudis etc so keen to talk a sad now there's no such moment the syrian government is about to fall but were it for going around would be even more isolated than it is today and the in a very dangerous position so that's what makes sense for iran trying to build bridges with cairo are there financial motives behind this meeting where we've got to believe the economy isn't bearing in mind the situation there in iran with all those sanctions appearing to have a a quite an impact on the iranian economy do you do they both need each other i think they do bill and i think from morsi point of view i think as we see harty going to rest in egypt but people are very unhappy with how things are going to get seen carrying on the mubarak and shipped on iraq will be one way in which you can say to his people look i'm not just a us puppet i'm going to be different here so i think from his point and he could get popularity at home by taking a more conciliatory line toward iran and could be running what if you course they've been pretty good on house i mean the pro israel lobby has been very

successful in getting the u.s. and other countries to pass tougher and tougher sanctions on iran he really can use a really bad state so iran needs all the friends it can get there's no reason for iran to be isolated there's no proof it's developing nuclear weapons it's got a peaceful nuclear energy program which there's no evidence to the contrary so therefore it's it's wrong but it should be totally isolated one of the centerpieces of german political rivalry ahead of this year's federal election is greece these former finance minister who's challenging angle and merkel in her bid for a third term things has been too harsh in athens let's not get the details from assays piece or all of that piece a very nice to see and other girls version and the user has already caused anger in athens so why is she coming under pressure because of that at home now. well what we've seen is the main contender to angola merkel in this year's general election the social democrat party's time brooke has said this his vision for how to deal

with the greek problem is to give greece a little bit more time and for everybody else around the world to be essentially willing to spend a little bit more money now that includes germany of course this goes up against what has been angola merkel's message all the way which is that it's all by austerity and by a sturdy alone and cutting that deficit. that greece can get itself financially back on its feet now what is interesting is that in the german elections we're seeing the key battleground becoming greece. now one of the reasons that we've seen the s.t.p. . jump on this is because essentially they smell blood he said himself after the most recent local elections which took place last month that's change was possible this year and in order and one of the reasons he can say that is his party is absolutely killing angle merkel's coalition when it comes to domestic issues the center right coalition about england merkel of lost in the last thirteen local

elections and the election in january was the. state government that they've lost to the s.t.p. since two thousand and nine now what we've seen from going up against merkel on greece is if you speak to the german people one thing they will all tell you the vast majority will tell you is that they do support angola merkel's view when it comes to dealing with the euro crisis what we're now seeing is peacetime saying i'm going to challenge angela merkel on her own turf and put forward my own theory about how to deal with greece and also angle and michael needs the french president lay said do we know is it a case of the euro zone's two largest economies deciding what to do with their out the debt rating partners or do you think. well we've just heard about greece being used as a political football a little later on wednesday we're going to see two politicians attending the football i'm going merkel is in. it will be in france to meet with francois

hollande and they'll be taking in the france germany game now the last two times those two sides met on the pitch it was the french that came out on top be looking to perhaps get the upper hand in the politics discussion this time perhaps not on the football field we will be seeing is those two talking about what they're going to do going into a meeting on thursday where the you'll be looking with all of the senior partners in europe will be looking to try and decide the european budget for twenty fourteen to twenty twenty now this has been a huge stumbling block for european leaders in the past year we heard from francois speaking on tuesday who said that he was ready to try and come to some kind of compromise he also said regarding the the issues between himself and angela merkel of course this being no secret that the socialist angela merkel against the. the well chief cheerleader of austerity and the socialist francois on hand i beg your

pardon the socialist francois hollande against the leader of a sturdy anglo merkel there has been some friction in the past he says all of the major issues that they have all behind them and that they're ready to work together so i expect what we will see is that some kind of solution being put forward by these two and how to steer europe towards a definite budget for twenty fourteen to twenty twenty and everybody meets later on today. right. on her forehead a lot of pay to many thanks indeed for that update. no retreat for the syrians fleeing the war. risked their lives to stay in the country then take shelter. but. people absolutely despise. the most probable said. to

recent years but with budgets being slashed and red tape preoccupying hospital manages. health secretary is warning that there are little bits of stuff that dotted all across the u.k.'s health system the results of the public inquiry into the hospital's failings are expected to issue a damning verdict on the way the whole of the n.h.s. functions is soul destroying and that's a bit of stuff that everyone that we've got to make say you know it's got to be made safe tomorrow because people can't continue to suffer but even with the glare of a public inquiry and the media spotlight it hasn't stopped last month it emerged that a former fold baby being treated for breathing problems was found with a dummy taped to his mouth to keep him quiet the nurse being investigated for the incident is the third member of staff at star to be disciplined in the last six months the hospital's chief executive has said west story that despite the progress

that has been made there are still some instances of care which fall below that which we want to provide sorry might be too late but the tide of public anger swelling campaigners say it's time for westminster to overhaul britain's beleaguered health service before any more lives and needlessly lost polly boyko r t stafford. have also lined up the best stories from around the globe now website based on david cameron says he's made a breakthrough in strengthening the nation based on the british parliament approves a bill that will allow same sex couples to marry yet overhauled the members of the ruling conservative policy and voted against it so had to alter dot com to find out what caused the split. and also their eyes call challenge an expedition of russian geographer that is makes their first ever record breaking dive into a frozen siberian lake where temperatures are minus fifty degrees celsius so was

the breathtaking footage and fall on our website our hero. kuwait has been praised for its pioneering role in to mocker say ranking fast among gulf states for freedom of the press but reality of ag and bit different three former opposition m.p.'s who are sentenced to prison time is for criticizing their ruling and this point to says to oxo us are also sentenced to ten and five years for writing a regime messages on twitter and analyst eric traces as kuwait will not react to pressure unless it comes from washington to wade is a client state of the united states it is part of the u.s. imperial system along with saudi arabia and qatar and bahrain and a number of other countries so for that obvious reason because they they can't really step out of line from what the line is from washington from london and from elsewhere so if you were to have destabilization in kuwait and you were to have the

western community the international community as it's called committee condemned the ruling family you will have an overthrow of that regime you will have a destabilization of the region which benefits democratic forces but which is very much detrimental to the united states and their agenda for the region the monarchies are looking around and they're seeing a democratization a wave of democratic upsurge in the region and they know that their regimes will not withstand it unless they're able to crack down on these forces and to maintain their strategic position within the imperial system so on the one hand they crack down on the opposition on the other hand they maintain very positive business relations with washington with london with terrorists and so forth. join a struggling with massive influx of syrian refugees saying their number critics say that seven hundred thousand this year the jordanian government says it will know they built up the many more expected of president assad falls although some syrians

are deciding to take that chance against bullets and as tribes at home rather suffer this caller in camps out his lissac on reports. that they come here to escape the hell of war as many as fifty thousand in the last month alone it all too often in jordan psaltery camp hope gives way to despair though i don't have nothing when we left home why is this happening why isn't anyone here to help us too many people and not enough help the sprawling ten city is the largest camp for syrians fleeing their war ravaged nation but it's ballooned well beyond capacity there are shortages of food blankets medical supplies just about everything. there are so many of us how can they provide for everyone we are called there is no a true city i have two children and there are no diapers for them i'm forced to back from my friends and family. refugees complain about the quality of water

toilets and the harsh desert winter they describe the frustration of spending hours and queues only to find out supplies have run out the dismal conditions have sparked a series of riots in recent months turning refugees against aide workers and one another at the no one is helping each other if you want to get bread you need a knife by your side to fight for it it's gas chaos that's simply too much for some seventy year old ahmed also obvious says that he would have preferred death in syria to life in the camps. if i stayed in syria it would have been better for me they would have killed me yes but it's better than coming here and being humiliated like this i'm a sick old man why not to go through this despite its shortcomings the camp still offers refuge from the gunfire and airstrikes ravaging syria and more help could be on the way at a recent conference in kuwait at the un got more than one point five billion

dollars worth of pledges to aid conflict stricken syrians but there are concerns it may not be enough we don't know how many more will be coming we have we don't know how many more will cross tonight we have no idea how many more there will be by the end of the week here in jordan or in the long or in turkey it's not a situation which is going to be over very soon and therefore yes it is a strain on the countries of course a strain that jordan may not be able to handle much longer. you know the syrian refugees arrived in jordan a country of limited resources at a time when is experiencing its greatest economic challenge ever but nonetheless we gave them all we could but if the number of refugees keeps growing will struggle to help them this is the reality. but many camp residents have grown wary of waiting for help unable to live in dignity in neighboring countries some syrians are returning home these families are waiting to get on buses that will take them back well you know i've been here for three days but after all i've seen in this

campaign claiming my right to go back to syria there's killing there but here we live worse than animals what kind of existence is that there's. hundreds of thousands of syrians came to jordan seeking a better life but here at the top story refugee camp lives are collapsing all over again they fled syria to escape a bloody war only to find themselves fighting a fresh battle just to survive to seek out front of r t serie a refugee camp in jordan. and a quick update now on the severe eight point zero magnitude earthquake which struck near the solomon islands one hundred metre waves followed the quake near the islands at least a five people have reportedly been killed and several villages destroyed but tsunami warnings issued elsewhere in the south pacific in household it's had ordered people to flee to higher ground and you can follow live updates on this developing story on our to his twitter feed. some other global news making

passengers and refuse services to those causing problems on his or reno going on are reports. please make sure your seat belts are fastened the tray table is securely stowed and the passenger next to you is not intoxicated out of his mind passport tickets and alcohol of course there's a lot of there wasn't prohibit drinking on board but that doesn't stop many passengers if there is a will there is always a way to sneak that bottle on the plane. recently cases of unruly drunks have been springing up one after another one man attacked a police officer in the v.i.p.'s zone in a moscow airport thinking he was still in another country a different man if the four year old businessman on his way to the egyptian resort of god lit up a cigarette and literally hit back at a flight attendant who tried to stop him the confrontation spiraled into an all out

brawl on board should anybody have known table long pretty much he was demanding something crazy he was forcing himself into a cockpit everyone was trying to hold him back and he was yelling let me and forcing his way into the pilot's seat yeah yeah here's the catch though the resume normal in russia that would allow airlines to restrain much less to punish unruly customers in fact flight attendants technically are not even allowed to physically subdue anyone having a fit of rage on an airplane and that doesn't fight over well with the country's main airline but that used up national could mean that your partner wants our cruise on board to be able to restrain such passengers we need a law for that and we also want to mince to the current air code which would allow not just air flag but all air carriers to be able to refuse service to bassan jurors who have created a problem on board passengers like to see on the end the leg honeymooners chris forced a plane heading for thailand to land in his decca stand it was after their festive
